Living in Los Angeles, we spend a lot of time in our car and we spend a lot of time listening to KCRW (89.9 FM in Los Angeles; you can also stream it online or download podcasts of individual programs) to keep us up-to-date on what's happening around the world, to introduce us to great music, as well as for great programs like "Good Food," "Design and Architecture" and "This American Life." This weekend we renewed our lapsed membership. Along with the contentment that comes from supporting something we love (and that we think is one of the great things about LA),
we received an extra benefit...
specifically, KCRW's Fringe Benefits card. Along with offering discounts to restaurants and bookstores, museums, spas, and yoga classes, it also offers discounts at some of our favorite furniture stores. From Weego Home to French 50s-60s to Calypso Home, HD Buttercup and F&S Fabrics, show your Fringe Benefits card and get 10-20% off. Their summer sign-up (which includes a shot at a trip to Kyoto or a Mini-Cooper) ends today at midnight but you can sign up anytime. For the full list of participants, click

Scavenger, our daily pick of choice items from Craig's List and our weekly
sales and calendar to keep you up-to-speed on where the
bargains are.
